I soon expect shady characters in back alleys to be hawking 100 watt bulbs as well as high flow toilets and cigarettes out of unmarked trucks. This ban on incandescent bulbs is the green equivalent of the prohibition on alcohol under the 18th Amendment and will produce the same reaction from a public that does not agree with this prohibition.

Heh, I can probably find a place to sneak into Canada, buy bulbs, and come back with an SUV full and sell them in a back alley. Maybe I did find a way to get rich quick. B-)
